unutterably　soft；　and　with　the　unrelaxing　softness　of　fate；　the

relentless　softness　of　fecundity。　She　quivered；　and　quivered；

like　a　tense　thing　that　is　struck。　But　he　held　her　all　the　time；

soft；　unending；　like　darkness　closed　upon　her；　omnipresent　as

the　night。　He　kissed　her；　and　she　quivered　as　if　she　were　being

destroyed；　shattered。　The　lighted　vessel　vibrated；　and　broke　in

her　soul；　the　light　fell；　struggled；　and　went　dark。　She　was　all

dark；　will…less；　having　only　the　receptive　will。

He　kissed　her；　with　his　soft；　enveloping　kisses；　and　she

responded　to　them　pletely；　her　mind；　her　soul　gone　out。

Darkness　cleaving　to　darkness；　she　hung　close　to　him；　pressed

herself　into　soft　flow　of　his　kiss；　pressed　herself　down；　down

fibre　of　her；　so　they　were　one　stream；　one　dark　fecundity；　and

she　clung　at　the　core　of　him；　with　her　lips　holding　open　the

very　bottommost　source　of　him。

So　they　stood　in　the　utter；　dark　kiss；　that　triumphed　over

them　both；　subjected　them；　knitted　them　into　one　fecund　nucleus

of　the　fluid　darkness。

It　was　bliss；　it　was　the　nucleolating　of　the　fecund　darkness。

Once　the　vessel　had　vibrated　till　it　was　shattered；　the　light　of

consciousness　gone；　then　the　darkness　reigned；　and　the

unutterable　satisfaction。

They　stood　enjoying　the　unmitigated　kiss；　taking　it；　giving

to　it　endlessly；　and　still　it　was　not　exhausted。　Their　veins

fluttered；　their　blood　ran　together　as　one　stream。
